Puppy Gets Super Emotional Watching ‘The Lion King’

Every child can point to the Disney film that made them very sad. After all, many feature emotional moments where a child loses a parent. Well, it seems that some dogs share the same sentiment. That is certainly the case with Luna, who reacts emotionally when she sees The Lion King is on TV. Or more specifically, the scene where Simba reacts to the death of his father, Mufasa.

The waterworks flow whenever we watch it, and for Josh Myer’s puppy, she seems to know exactly what’s going on and whines and whimpers, laying down sadly as the dramatic scene plays.

“To see her crying at the TV was the sweetest thing I think I’ve ever seen,” Myers said of his 4-month old dog.


Luna isn’t the only dog to react emotionally when watching the Lion King. Check out what this chihuhua/pug does when she watches the same scene.
